Chapter 107 Li Zhinan comes to the room to ask for a birthday present
After dinner, the guests left one after another, and Chu Huaijing also planned to leave. When he passed by the side hall, he stopped, but only saw Cheng Qian's silhouette.
He didn't dare stay any longer and left with a sense of satisfaction.
Because Ji Yichen and Cheng Qian had a brother-sister relationship, when he left, he went directly to the side hall to say goodbye to Cheng Qian.
"Brother Yichen, are you drunk?" Cheng Qian stood up and walked him to the door. Seeing his eyes were red, she reminded him, "Be careful on the road."
Ji Yichen lowered his head and laughed: "My dad is right, you are indeed a considerate and thoughtful person."
Cheng Qian laughed awkwardly: "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Yichen."
Ji Yichen wanted to say something more, but felt that the occasion was not right, so he turned around and got into the car.
Cheng Qian watched his car drive past the rockery in front of the garden and head towards the gate.
"Are you reluctant to leave?" Suddenly, there was a cold and sarcastic voice behind him.
Cheng Qian turned around and saw Li Zhinan standing beside her.
Cheng Qian moved her lips, wanting to explain something, but in the end, she just turned around, brushed past him, and went to the side hall to find Xia Mengjiao.
Li Zhinan's words seemed to be spoken to the air, and his handsome face instantly turned ashen and ugly.
Jiang Meng was asking her aunt to clean up the living room. Cheng Yan hadn't left yet, so she immediately wanted to go forward and help.
Jiang Meng stopped her: "You have also drunk wine, so stop working, let's go outside the courtyard and talk for a few words."
Cheng Yan's brows lit up with joy. Jiang Meng's attitude towards her had softened in the past few days, which gave her an extra bargaining chip in her heart.
"What does Aunt Jiang want to say?" Cheng Yan's brows were filled with a well-behaved and sensible look.
Jiang Meng looked her over carefully and said, "This is the skirt I wore when I saved Zhinan that day. I remember it clearly."
Cheng Yan felt guilty for a moment, but soon, she smiled and nodded: "Yes, I like it very much, so I wore it today."
"At that time, our Li family had been looking for you for more than four years, but we still couldn't find you. We were very anxious." Jiang Meng sighed softly, "Fortunately, Zhinan finally found you."
"Aunt Jiang, I believe that anyone who encounters that situation will help others. I just did what I should do. It's nothing." Cheng Yan answered softly shyly.
"No, you saved the hope of our Li family. Fortunately, Zhinan also invested in your company, which can be regarded as repaying your life-saving grace. Zhinan also said that he will focus on training you. As long as you like the path of scientific research, he will definitely support you to the end." Jiang Meng also told Cheng Yan some inside stories that she didn't know.
Cheng Yan's eyes were as bright as fireworks.
"Is it true? Aunt Jiang, you are not trying to... cheer me up, are you?" Cheng Yan asked with an expression of excitement that was hard to believe, and deliberately raised her voice.
Jiang Meng said in a firm tone: "Of course it's true, this is what Zhinan said himself."
Cheng Yan immediately rushed forward and hugged Jiang Meng: "Thank you, Aunt Jiang, I am really grateful. It is my honor to meet your family."
The reason why Cheng Yan hugged Jiang Meng tightly at this time was that she didn't want her to see. At this moment, Cheng Qian passed by behind them.
Cheng Qian must have heard what was said just now.
Cheng Yan let go of her hand only after she saw Cheng Qian's stiff back going up the stairs.
Jiang Meng laughed: "Miss Cheng, you are too polite. These are what Zhinan should do."
Cheng Yan glanced at the empty living room and immediately said sensibly, "Aunt Jiang, everyone has left. It's time for me to leave too. I won't disturb your family's rest."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Jiang Meng reminded.
At this moment, in the bedroom on the second floor, Cheng Qian's heart felt like it was hit by something and was slightly painful.
The way my mother-in-law chatted with Cheng Yan just now was no longer as polite as before.
It was as if all of a sudden, the mother-in-law approved of Cheng Yan. Presumably, she also hoped that she and Li Zhinan could divorce quickly.
Cheng Qian lowered her eyes, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.
Since her parents passed away, Jiang Meng's care has been like a spring breeze, giving her a sense of belonging.
Cheng Qian has always treated her with filial piety, obeyed her in everything, and respected and loved her as an elder.
Before, she was thinking that after the divorce, she was afraid that she would never meet a better mother-in-law than Jiang Meng.
I didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
Cheng Qian was really sad, sad that family affection would be fleeting.
Jiang Meng suddenly came upstairs, stood outside Cheng Qian's door, and said, "Xiao Qian, are you in there?"
Cheng Qian quickly suppressed her sadness and opened the door: "Mom, I'll go downstairs to help clean up."
"No, just give it to Auntie." Jiang Meng said with a smile: "I see you have been working all day and seem very tired. You should have a good rest."
"Thank you, Mom. I'm not tired." Cheng Qian was not tired, but she felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Meng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. I promised to bring a piece of cake to Xiaowei."
"Okay, Mom, I'll take you there." Cheng Qian followed Jiang Meng downstairs, stood at the door of the living room, and saw her off to the car.
Jiang Meng looked at Cheng Qian's considerate look and felt a little guilty.
Cheng Qian watched her car go away, but she couldn't pull out the thorn in her heart.
After seeing off all the guests, the huge villa returned to peace.
Ye Zhu stayed to help take care of Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye fell asleep on time at 9:30.
Cheng Qian took her pajamas and was about to take a shower, but saw the door was pushed open.
Li Zhinan walked in with a tall figure. He was drunk and his temperament was charming and dangerous.
Especially those eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of dark mist, staring straight at Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian asked him coldly: "Why don't you go back to your room to rest?"
"I came here to ask you for a birthday present." Li Zhinan approached, his eyes fixed on her face. "I don't believe you haven't prepared anything."
Cheng Qian thought he was ridiculous. They had already filed for divorce, so how could she still prepare a birthday gift with all her heart?
"Li Zhinan, don't expect anything. I'm really not prepared." Cheng Qian hit him.
"I don't believe it." He reached out and grabbed her slender arm: "Cheng Qian, you are not such a cold and heartless person. I know you."
Cheng Qian laughed when she heard this and shook off his grip: "Li Zhinan, you are too confident. You allow yourself to dislike me, but you don't allow me to be heartless. What's the logic behind this?"
"You loved me before, how could love suddenly disappear?" Li Zhinan was drunk and had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Of course, this was also the confidence that Cheng Qian had given him before.
He clearly remembered that during a lovemaking session, Cheng Qian whispered in his ear that she loved him.
Women are emotional. If she says she loves him, she must have loved him.
Cheng Qian sneered: "Love will disappear suddenly. No one can be so foolish as to wait for a blank result."
After saying that, Cheng Qian wanted to go into the bathroom, but at this moment, an arm hugged her.
Cheng Qian was pushed by a force and fell against the wall behind her.
His strong body was like a wall, trapping Cheng Qian in his arms. Li Zhinan breathed heavily: "Cheng Qian, I allow you to lose your temper, but shouldn't you know when to stop?"
